THE DESEETEE'S DEATH.
Beat with your shackled hands yourbrcost. Impatient pace yourguardcd room,
in vain upon your couch seek rest, Giize out upon tho gloom;
'Tis lighter now thnn when you last Looked out—the hours are fiying fnst!
Y'ou counted not the fearful cost
When forth, beneath tho veil of night You stole, to join tho rebel host,
Agaiust your flng to fight; To-morrow tlmt bright flng shall w.ivo Abovo unothur traitor's srave. Oh, why-whcn you were staunch and true,
And nobly boro a soldier's part. Where the shrill-whIsUiug bullets flew.
Could one not find your heart? Tiion weeping friends might speak with pride Of ono who for his country died.
^Tlduk of your gray-haired father'.s wno. Think how you've blighted all his Ufe— IIow his fond heart will bear this blow!
Whou first yon aought the strife. While scalding tears ran down his fnco. Ho bade you hasten to your place.
Thank God! your molhcr's lifo hnd Hod Bofore thase fcnrful tidings ciuno.
But your young sister's sunny head Is lK>wixl to-dny in .shamo;
•TIs .tyid, ludeed, thnt even sho
Must hund buueath yonr infamy.
Upon your brcnst, jit tinier, you've worn
A lilllo tress of silken hnir— Tlic pretty head from which 'twas slioru
Is nching with despair: Another sorrowed heart lo bleed, Becntiso of your accursed deed.
Look from your window onco again;
Suo in the Enst a slrcak of gruy. Now creeping slowly o'er tho plain—
The harbinger of day; And think these beams ere night sludl fnll "Upon a d.astnrd trait'jr's pall.
'•Twixt ynu nnd death but momont.s stand;
And yut, :i Ufe uouUi not. ntnne For all tho ruin your red wild hand
So recklessly Imth .-^trownl You fuel ituow—tUollrcsoflluU Wilh nt^ony your bosom swcU.
Your practised enr should know iho trond, Thnuiwuscs at your prison door—
Tho iKilts fly back,—the .sunlight red Falls strciming on the Hour;
Tiiun ghmcas on the j;rini nrmy
Of .shining steel that guards your way.
An awful silence—bntcd breath—
The quiet waving ofn hand; Forth the drcnd mcssrnitcrs of de.ith
Speed nt the dumb command; A clnud of smoto sonn rolls uway. And shows a lump of lifeless clay!
EEATHEEIT HAIL.
Of all till! pleasant things in autumn, commend us to stopping at .1 Tndor country house. All its features have a gr.ivo and sober look about them at tho closo of the year, as befits a staid man- *sion; but overj- stray sunbeanx is never- tlielcs.? gladly cjvught and c.irried down the mantling ivy and wistaria for the delight of its inmates. Tho servants are old and faithful, so are the dogs, the Iiorsea and the wines. Like the twin pears ripening on tho south garden wall, the owner is in the i)rimc of life, <ind his lady a fino specimen of English ma- tronliood. Wlio ever s.aw the master of an Elizabethan house thin, p.ile and dyspeptic? Ifay, the daughters, about whose shining hair tlie aforementioned Bunbcams linger, shall, with alt ttieir viv.icity, have .a .shade of seriousness in their comi)osition, if they dwell in my ideal Tudor house.
" Ho! for a charioteer I" as we get out at Red Moor station. "Gig from the Hall for you, sir," says the polite station master. Let us light a Havana and proceed. "Fine stepper, this maro ot yours, "Willis."
" Yes, sir; wo knows a good 'oss in Yorkshire." "Ah! Grouse pretty strong on tho * wing this season ?"
"AVcU, sir, Fcatherem tells me they do waut a good walker to fill a bag ta' year."
" Good! tho master as keen as over at tliem, eh?" etc., etc., etc.
Ob, the deh'ghts of a Tudor bedroom! I do not cire whether Henrietta Maria or Cardinal "SVolsey once slept in it, neither do I much regard that faded bit of tapestry (Hotspur, his he.id being out olT). It may or may not have been worked by Mary Queen of Soots; but what fino projiortions lias tho room! what comfort! AVhy cannot we build sueh airy bedrooms now-a-days? 'Tis nearly an hour to dinner. Here is a blazing fire, curtains drawn, and sofa wheeled invitingly out. Query number two: "Wliy do uot alt bedrooms have sofas and writing tables ? " Comfort," says my friend tho Laureate, " comfort scorned of devils!" Well, lho middle- k aged British gentleman, at all events, likes things comfort.iblo. I will read here quietly till the dressing bell. Din¬ ner passes ofl" as usual, aud after dinner comes tho usual cigar and cliat iu tlie billiard-room; but this thing we will pretermit.
It is alwaj's fine the first morning at a country house. So we pace along tho corridor, whero jade vases and Majolica ware, aud Japanese we.ipons catch the light at oach deopl.y embowered win¬ dow, and down the polished oak stair¬ case in a very contented frame of mind. Fino entrance hail this! Ah! Heatli- erly has had a rim of Jlinton's tiles put .around the parqtictaffc since I was last here. Dcliciously cool it looks, too. I must reallj- havo a snifi' of air before bre.'ikfast. How tho dow drops glisten on that dcodara; "What a wealth of gold still liangson thoso beeches! C.iw! eaw! caw!—tho rooks busj- in thoir trees as usual. Time for me to think of bre:ikfast.
" Good morniug to j-ou, Peuington," s.ays my worthj'host; "glad to seej-ou down so early. Those other fellows won't show for a couplo of hours j-et. Well, we still keep np the good old cus¬ toms here, you know; breakfast 011 the table till lunch, lunch waiting tiU din¬ ner. Another wing of th.at cold part¬ ridge, Simpson." And then ho subsides into his Times.
.1 pay my morning greeting to the ladies, and then sit down by Edith, "fresh as the foam, now bathed in Paphian wells." Demure .as she was last night, I weU remember she used to bo saucy at breakfast.
" And so you havo really managed just for once to join us at breakfast, Mr.i reniugton; j-ou don't know how flat-, torcd we feel."
"I trust tho grou.se are equallj- pleased at my reformation. Thank j-ou. Some cofTee."
" There, j-ou tiresome man; yon will make game of us when we are compli- monting you ou j-our good qualities."
" We woii't give him a sinig of heath¬ er to put in his cap for luek bofore he takes tlic field, if he is not careful," says Miss Alice. "Will you try a poached egg, Mr. Penlngtoh?"
"Oh! Miss Heatlierly, how can you suppose I .am going to plead guilty to sueh au unsportsmauliko dainty, and that before a J. P. like your father? Simpson, cayenne!"
"Andyet, Penington," says Heath- erly, '• you seem to enjoy that duck amazinglj-. I should certaialy put j-ou down as heterodox!" And then he laughs long and loud, being an atrocious punster, and having tortured the word into " eater o' ducks."
After a time we stroll out on the ter¬ race.
Somo Tiidor houses are built m a quadrangle, with moat and drawbridge, battlements and machicolations en regie. Heatherly HaU 13 of a moro peaceful, and, to my mind, more comfortable fashion. Moats alwaj-s seem meant to glye you an attaok of the rheumatism; bi^"lho broad siinny terraces of Heath- erlj- put J-ou at onee on good terms with yourself. There is something stately in tho wide walks, the grey balustrades, tlie stoue Cupids supporting vases of lobelia and scarlet geraniums at each coruer, with whioh the peacocks proud- Ij- strutting up aud down aro quite in eliaraeter. Look upward, and uoto how tho eye is again pleased iu the nu¬ merous gablesand turrets, eaoh crowned by its stone ball. What a comfortablo appearance too have the heavy mullion- ed windows! You insensibly thiuk of tile soft cushions witliin, covered with crimson velvet.
In olden times the qu.idranglo had its advantages for defence; but He.itherly, flanked by two right angled wings, is more convenient for modern life. Of course, from tbe central entrance, the servants' wing is on the right, and tho old state rooms form the opposito sido, the two enclosing in their arms a elose¬ lj- shaven green, where sunshino loves to luxuriate. The trim gardens and shrubberies run back from thesouthorn face of the building. No Tudor house looks badly even on a gloomy daj-, in striking contrast to Palladian buildings; but as^oiTas the light'falls on it, its mj-riad grej- tints deepen aud blend with each velvefc-lichenod pinnacle and mossj' string-course in a soft wealth of color. Green shades from tho grass strike up over tho walls—(did j-ou ever notice how bleak a Tudor house looks if it has only gravel before it ?)—and tho last rays of light shot from tho sunset over Heatherly Moor seem to linger lovinglj- in their purple glow over the old hall tliat thej' gladdened for manj' asummer.
A pleasant spot this, all will allow, for a holiday-maker to find himsolf so wannlj- welcomed to. WiU j-ou see the interior? Well, without doubt, j-ou can fancj- the shooting, andhowStubbs fairly knocked up under it the lii'st daj-, and wh.at a due .ippreci.ntion of tho Glonlivot was shown whou wo stopjed to lunch at the Lady's WeU. The in- ovitablo rainy day has como at last.
"Miss Hcathorlj-, suppose wo have a ramble over thoold houae?"
" AVith all my heart.. To begin, how- do J-ou like this snowy owl ? Papa shot it in Caithness last autumn, and I sug¬ gested its being stuflTed in tliat pose, in the act of lifting tho wild duck it was carrj-ing ofl'when killed."
" I think it always suits an entrance hnll to have stuflcd animals in it. For the samo reason' I admiro tho small head and bushj- tail of the real wild cat. Nearly aU tho cats keepers kill now are simply house cats run wild." " Then no wonder that Bettj' John¬ son's cat disappeared so mysteriously!" "Y'es; she lives, unfortunately, closo to the covers."
"This is the great dining hall. I noed hardly tell you no one but "Verrio has touohed the ceiling; and, of course, those languishing maids of honor aro by Sir P. Lolj'. Hero is a Charles 1, worth looking at; an authentic portrait, bj- "^'.indj'ke. Wo fouud it two j'cars ago iu an old lumber rot^m." ¦
" AVe ought f o carry crooks whon wc como in here to look at thoso prettj- shophordesses," simpers Stubbs, an en¬ sign with a silky moustaehe.
" Yes, or thoy might take j-ou for the sheep," saj-s another. " 33y tho waj-, Miss Heatherly, haven't j'ou a ghost here? uo respectable mansion ought to be without ouo."
"Of course wo have," says saucy Edith; "quite a tame one. It haunts this long gallery occasionallj-."
" Old Lady Charlotte Heatherly, eh ? in a winding sheet, clanking the koj'S, and all that sort of thing?"
" Oh, dear no! with long flaxen curls, like that young cavalier up there, and deepvioleteyos that j'otlookflery enough ifyou see them in the right light."
" Down at Lord Milbury's placo thej- keep a hermit in the g.irdens. A fellow runs down to take him word before vis¬ itors come, in order that he may havo time to put on his wig and weeds, and set out his wooden bowl. Is j'ourghost •anything like that, Miss Edith?",
" Hush, Mr. Penington, or you may see it some day!"
" I belicveitislikoMaobeth'sdaggcr," says another, irreverently, " a Dirk's ghost!"
" I hoiJO it is too respoctablo to do any¬ thing in the spirit-rapping lino," re¬ marks a third; and so that subject ovap- or.ates.
"Here is the library," says our fair cicerone.
" Ah! but -where is the billiard-room, Miss Heathorly ?"
" Y'ou fellows may go ou thoro," saj-s Mr. Penniiigton, " and have a game for lovowiththeladics. I, being fancy-free, shall settle down hero and read Mon¬ taigne."
Uut I fall iuto a reverie ovor the fire. AA'liat a charming room to dream in! Ko place for brown study like alibrarj', where the great and good of all time peer at j-on through their weired cages (liko the ladies from their gallerj'atthe House), and flow into the current of your dreams. IsceHeatherly has taken Bogers's hint, and put up a few busts over tlie shelves. There is a delieious sea'-pioee of Lee's! Bight, again, to put J-our favorito pictures in the librarj'.— Perhaps it is a trifle too dark here for the bright tints of that summer sea.— All the sunlightwentoutjustuow with that girl.
I suppose the governor will be after mo one ofthese daj's to marry and set¬ tle. A man might do much worse than
Y'es, very pretty, and piquante,
with plenty of sense. I liko her long
curls too; and so I mount highor and higher iuto Dreamland, where even the snow-capped mountains are rose-tiuted by celestial lovelight. At length a thundering avalanche descends from somo inaccessible Matterhorn. I start up di.seoncerted!
The opposite door is open, and tho firelight glances round a sweeter pic¬ ture than any shepherdess of Lely's in the hall. A slight fair-haired girl, ele- giintly dressed in some light diaphanous fabric, with abroad sash of blue ribbon round her, stands framed iu the massive oak doorway. After a moment's silence she speaks:
"Mr. Penington! you herostiU! It IS almost dinner time."
" Oh, Miss Heatherly, why will j-ou destroy the Ulusiou? Ghosts never speak."
" But tho ghosts walk in the long cal- Inry,-; you forget."
" "yes, I have been dreaming."
" So I see, and I will soon leavo j-ou again to your dreams. I want to look out' Sir Guyon's Visit to the wandering Isles' in the Fairie Queene."
" Stop a minute; let me help you. I can get ready for dinner In no time. Here itis."
"I like to hear a man reading poetry, Mr. Penington. You have just put more feeUnginio it than any -woman oould have done."
i " That may be becauso j-ou reserve J-our feeling and your interest for real woe; at least wc men like to think so." " I suiiposo you have most ofyour ex¬ alted feelings respecting us. I fear we do uot in real lifo bj- anj- means como up even to our owu ideal, mucli less to yours," saj-s my comj)auion, playing .with ths paper-knifo a littlo nervously, as if conscious that she is ap prbaching dangerous ground.
" Mj' dear Miss Heatherly, j'ou should leave us to disenchant oui-selves. My realitj- would nover provo falso to her ideal!"
" Then j-uu must fall iu lovo witb something ovaii le.ss substantial than a ghost, Mr. Penington. Goodbj-." And my fair visitant flita otf.
"Miss Heatherly! Edith! one mo¬ ment!" but the door closes, aud ouly a spray of jessamine dropped from her hair remains as the result of my dream. Most of mj- male readers know that at such a stage of a man's wooing every¬ thing conspires to prevent him from quietlj' unbosoming himself of his se¬ cret. Somebodj- elso takes tho l.idy in to dinner. She will chat afterwards to Ladj' Fantail and tho Miss Pouters. Youug Fire-eater of tho Forty-second nover sees how tho ground lies. Eveu at oroquet sho plays on the othor side, and J'ou cinnot help her. The vci'j' Skj-e looks a.skance if you approach her, as tliough ho know you were in diiticultics.
But Heatherly Hall has nobis gar¬ dens, and these gardens' are laid out with all tho prido of the topiariiin art.' Surely a man might find room in them for projecting his last jiarallel. Hero j-ew troes are transformed iuto wonder¬ ful mermaids and dragons and bii)po- gritTs. Jfo shape is too grotesque for them to assume under the careful clip¬ ping of centuries. Hero, too, are w.iUs composed of j-ew foliage almost imper¬ vious to rain, and a summer-house of tho sanio, perfectly waterproof in its so¬ lidity ; with windows and .door cun¬ ningly cut out, as can only bo seeii at an English ancestral hall. I observe tho playwrights aro alwaj-s fond of in¬ troducing such a garden into their scenes. Doubtless it is convenient at times for lovemaking. Tliero is also to be seen" at Heatherly, within the last mhzoof walks, a mulberrj-tree, s.iid to have been planted by Sir Kenelm Dig- by. Jfow mulberries ought always to be eaten from tho tree; the proper thing, indeed, is to lie down under it, aud suf¬ fer the luscious fruit to drop into j-our mouth. A touch destroj-s its delicate flavor. Even if I do not adojit so lazj- a method of tasting tho fruit, I will saunter down thero to-day in despair of over again seeing Edith. As for tho grouse, I missed so many the last day I was out, and was so heartlessly chafTod thereat, that I am too di.sgusfed to go nc.ir theni anj- moro this .¦leason.
" Miss Heatherly or awoodnymph?" aud here I am faco to face with Edith. " Let me shake the tree for you.
"How considerate of jou, iMr. Pen¬ ington, to malce J-our appearance just when J-ou wore wanted!" and for a fow minutes wo aro exceedingly woU-be- Iiavod.
"And now I must go to tho houso, or
there w-ill bo-no mulberries at dessert."
" I will carry them for you," and tho
basket is somewhat tremblingly yielded
to me.
"How dull wo are,"says tho young lady, recurring to badinage in her ex¬ tremity, as wo walk up tho yew sUoy. " I think tho docliiiing j-ear weighs upon J-our spirits, Mr. Penington."
" Perhaps, like Dromio, I havo lately met a witch, and am thinking if my heart had not' been made of faith, slie had transformed mo into a curtail,dog, and mado mo turn i' the wheel'!' ",
" Dear me, what a delightfully do¬ mostic character j-ou -would have be-, como, aud as merry j-ou would have been at j'Our fireside ns a cricket! See wh.it comes of being so faithful!"
" Can you guess who is the witch. Miss Heatherly?"
'• Let me seo. Miss M,irkhhra is very fond of cits; or perhaps.Lucy AVaters— a brougham brought her hore tho otlior day."
" Ah! Miss He.itherly, Edith!" and the quick colour flies to h'er oheeks,
"how can j-ou jest when my"
"Hallo! Stubbs !"—("Hang the fel¬ low!" so«o rooo). .:
" All right," .says that worthy, with a bow to the lady. "I w.is coming down to join you in a wood at the j'ow arbour, but I soo j-ou—"
." Goodby both! I will leave ydn to your cigars," and my fair vision has once more fled.
I fear I was very short with Stubbs, and some how or other the weed was not so soothing as usu.il. AVe soon roso and sauntered back to the haU. AA'hat does the poet say of golden opportuni¬ ties ? Is there not an old story of a man who began his proiiosal in a postchaisc, but wns abruptly silenced by the toll- gate keeper douiauding threepence? I wonder if he ever had courage to open tho ijucstion once more fo his inamora¬ ta ovcu if ho had the chanco!
AVoll, mj' time is up iu three days. I join fainthearted Macbeth in his dire resolve—
" -ttlion 'tl.s done, then 'twere ttcH It were done qnlckly;" but tho fates favour rae no more that daj', nor tho next.
The daj' before my departure, howev¬ er, afTaii's looked more smiUng. AVlien lovo has once spread his toils round our feet ho is :;ure in tho long run to trip us up. As I left the librarj' in tho dusk of thnt dull October evening, whoro, if I had not boon g.irnoriug up much know¬ ledge, I had at least had the opportuni¬ ty of reflecting with. AVordsworth that wisdom works by patience, tho voices of the mon and tho gleeful laughter of Miss Markham nnd Alico from tho bil- ¦ liard room struck upon my oars. AVith somewhat misanthropic feelings I turn¬ ed aud went out tho othor wny by tho long gallery. A streak of sunshine, the last and only glimmer ofthe dying day, shot through the great west window as I passed, and flung utiles azuro argent ovcr tho floor from the Hc.ithorlj' bars and labels on tho panes. I hail the omen .13 gladly aa ' any old heathen might havo done. Tho picturo hues die out as I advance, and only leavo a faint pillar of somothing fUckering liko whito light beyond. Hah! the ghost! Now I will solve the Heatherly myste¬ ry. Two stops forward, and I find Edith shrinking into the gloom!
" 'Tis I, Mr. Penington. I had no idea you would soo me passing to my room," and thon though p.ile as a verit¬ able ghost, she gathered courage. " Do j-bu read hieroglyphics in there that you must need como out here peering about like an owl in the sunshine ?"
" I came to look for j-our Heatherly I ghost, and if I mistake notBditli, I have found hor," and then I take her hand. " Edith, J'OU know my secret now. I wonder if I can discover .j-ours!" and then I drew her unresistingly forwards to the light. " I have loved you silently for yeara—ever since I first camo to Heatherly—year by year I love you more dearly I year by: year—till death, forever—I jviU bo yours! WUl you come and brighten my lonely hearth ? Do not shroud any longer your light¬
some face in these dark old galleries! Let me read your answer in your eyes!"
She does not speak as I tenderly smooth her flaxen hair, but raises her face, so that what littlo light thore is falls on it, and I see its pallor and the tears trembling over the depths of truth and devotion withiu her violet ¦ ej-cs; but I need no words, as tho love of long years shelters Itsolf on my breast.
" Edith, Edith, my own!" is all I can murmur.
Then comes her earnest whisper, "Bo quite sure I am yours for ever!" and now the pale lovelorn faco, Uke May after April showers, is all roses, and no more hides itsalf from the embrace which is its right. No two doves cooing on tho houso top aro moro happy than aro we two softly chatting for a fow minutos in tho gloom of that old gal¬ lery, tm not tho dressing-bell but the dinner-bell arouses us.
" There, there! pretty treatment for a ghost to receive! Bo quick as j-ou can. AVhat will papa say ?".
But papa simply ohatTs ua more un¬ mercifully than over when we make our appearance as tho flsh is being re¬ moved. However, I can hold my owu now against anj' amount of badinage. And no ouo would think, so merry is tho party, that it was to break up tho next d.ij'.
After a chat with Edith that same evening in the library, I suddenly find that the import.int business which de¬ manded my presence in town next day cau, oddly enough, be managed just as woU by a telegram- bidding the laun¬ dress keep my chambers closed for an¬ other fortnight.
¦And so will end mj' visit to the old hall; which iu its main features maj'be taken .is a typo of what mauy a man goes through, harmlessly it may be, for many a j'oiir, at many countrj' places. But his turn to fail beforo the charms of oho of tho engaging English maidens who inhabit them is sure to come soon¬ er or later. Countrj* houses are danger¬ ous places for young fellows in autumm esiieoially if it bo a wet season. I cau look back philosoi^hiciUy now, and miglit monUize on the felieity of walk¬ ing and driving with a girl after j-our own heart; but no, some one hasdoubt- Icss forestalled me, sol will content my¬ self with couhseUing all whoflnd them¬ selves in a simUar position to my lato state of anxiety, now so happily ended, to pluck my heart of grace, and m.in- fully "iiut it to the touch, to win or loso itaU." ' ,
If you are in Yorkshire in January, I havo no doubt you w-ill danco at my wedding. Heatherlj-Hallisto be thrown, open,- and all comers will bo treated with true Y'orkshire hospitality. Jloro merrily than usual will the church bells ring, doubtless in joj- that some one has exorcised, the Heatherly ghost. Seldom will-that old porch havo seen a fairer brido thau Edith of tho flaxen hair. Stubbs declares he would rido oucainol- back throe hundred miles down coun¬ try for mj- luck. I have a notion he will some day find himself doing so for Alico, who does not seem indifferent to the gallant ensign. So contagious are eng.igomonts that even the eldest of the sportsmen, who might bo supposed proof to any. attractions, after manj' a season at Almack's and niAiy a cam¬ paign at homo and abroad, deems it high timo hoshouldquitthe j-ew-trce arcades of Heatherly before ho aiipcars as "a young iialmer in love's eve.'.' AVe wiU charitably hope it is from kindred rea¬ sons onlj- that the gentle reader dreads a longer visit to tho old Tudor hall.— London Society.

Tho p.xst history of the families of Louis Napoleon and the sultan of Tur¬ key is full of interesting and marvelous incidents, some ofwhich aie, probably, not gonerally known to our readers. These two monarchs, a fow j'ears ago so cordially united, in the struggle to main¬ tain the integrity of the Ottoman Em¬ pire, are both descendants ol American ladies-^the oue a grandson, and tho other a groat-grandson. The ladies wero born in the same neighborhood, on the isl.ind of Martinique, oneof the AVost Iiidios. Tliej' wero Josephine do
Tasclier and Miss S—: . The history
of Josephine is generally known. She went to France, aud was married to M. de Beaiiharuais, by whom sho had ono son (Eugene) and a daughter (Hortense). Some time after the death of Beauhar- nais, Josephine was married to Louis Bonaparte, and became empress of France. Her daughter (Hortense) was married to Louis Bonaparte, thon king of Holland; and tho present emperor of Franco is her son by this marriage. But now for the romance of tho afiair. Jose2)hino's bosom friend quitte'd the is- l.ind of Martinique somo time beforo she did. But tile vessel that was earrj'ing her to France was attacked and taken by Algerian corsairs, and the crew and p.issengers made prisoners; but the corsair ship was, in turn, attacked and pillaged by Tunis pirates, aud Miss S. W.IS carried by them to Constautiuoplo and offered for sale as a slave. Her ex¬ traordinary beauty and accomplish¬ ments found her a purchaser in the sultaii himsolf, and she soou became the cliief lady in his seraglio, andsultanaof Turkey. Mahmoud II. was her son; Abdul Mejid was the son of Mahmoud, aud tho present sultan, Abdul Aziz Kann is the grandson of Mahmoud. Thus the two sovereigns, who occupy BO large a space in the world's oye, are descended from two Amtriean Creole .girls, who were playmates in their j'outh, and as remarkable for their beautj- and excellent dispositions as for their varied and simUar fortunes. Both these women, in the height of their power remembored the friends of their youth, and provided munificently for their welfare.' Many of tho relatives of thosultana left the island of Martinique and settled nt Constantinople, where their descendants still reside and enjoy tho favor of the sultan. The sultana died in 1811; tho empress Josephine in 1814.—QalignanVs Messenger.
Taxation is said to be.ir equally on all classes, from the fact that it hardly presses on the rich, and presses hardly on tho poor.
The Londou Spectator for Januarj' 13 saj's: " There is clearly a hero among literarymen whom editors, and the poor also, should delight to honor. In j'es- terday's Pall Mall Qazelte appears the first of a sliortsorics of letters written bj' a gentleman who-t-ested for.himself, at tlie instance of the editor of that paper, tho accommodation provided for the houseless poor under the recent act, bj' pasaing ,i night in tho Lambeth work¬ house. Ho got himself up in a ruiflanly dross—his buttonless coat tied together with twine, his throat in a bird's eye pocket-handkerchief, a battered billj'- cpclc hat on his head—aud was driven down in a brougham to nc.ir the work¬ house, alighted on the wrong side in fhe dark of the mid-street, escaped from his carriage and got admitted. The only slip was that he had failed to fast for half a d.ij', aud could not cat his bread whon ho had got it. Ho gave l^imselfout for an engraver to account forhis hands, invented several other fibs for which his .conscience does 'not appear to I rouble him; and was undress¬ ed and deprived - of his clothes. He jilunged (needlcsslj', as it afterw.irds .'ippeared,) into the bath whero the oth¬ er houseless poor had been washed—and tlie appearance of v/hioh, after that pro¬ cess, he describes .is somelhing "dis- gusti/igly like weak mutton broth"— and then, with only a check-shirt on, andwith a rug over hia shoulders, wns oompoUod to walk througli the open air ,ind on baro stones to the half-open shed in which tliirty comrades were al¬ ready houaed, eaoh on his haj'-bag. Tlie cold W.IS terrible, though tho kiudlj'at¬ tendant, taking a liking to him, brought him a second rug; his bed was stained with the blood of somo predecessor, and worst of all, the conversation was foul aiid filthj' in the extreme. Here the aocount breaks off for tho present, leav¬ ing literarj' readers to ask themselves whether thej' could ovoreonie the shrinking of the flesh from contact with all this squalor, either from litor.iry en¬ terprise, or the noblor impulse to bridge over the terrible chasm in our knowl¬ edge between tho decent- and indecent cla,saes. A more splendid energy, if it W.IS duo to tlie flrst motive, a more au-. dacious courage if to tho second, wo do not recollect in literarj'Jiiatorj-."
Below we reprint tho full account of this singular adventure: • At about 9 o'clock on tho ovening of Monday, tho Sth inst., a ne.it but un- jiretentious oarriago might havo becii seen turning cautiously from the Keu- hihgtoti road iiito the Princes road, Lambeth. The curtains wero closelj' drawn, and the coachman wore an un¬ usually, responsiblo air. Approaching a publio houso, which retreated a Uttle from the street, ho pulled ui); but not so close that the lights should fall upon the carriage door, not so distant as to imscttlc the mind ofany ono who choso to imagine that he had halted to drink beer boforo proceeding to call for the children at a juvenile partj'. He did not dismount, nor did anj' one alight in tho usual way; but any keen observer who happened to watch his intelligent countenance might have seen a-furtive glance directed to the wrong door, that isto s.iy, to tho door of tho carriage which opened into tho dark ahd mud¬ dy road. From that door emerged aslj' and ruffianly figure, marked witli everj' sign of squalor. Hewas dressed in what had onco boen a snuff-brown coat, but whioh had faded to the hiio of bricks imporfectlj' baked. It was,not strictlj' a ragged coat, though it hiid lost its cuffs —^a bereavement which obliged the wearer's arms to project through the sleeves two long inelegant inohes. Tho ooat altogether -was too small, and was only made to meet over the chest by means of a bit of twine. Tliis-wretched garment was surmounted bj' a " bird'sr ej'o" pocket handkerchief of cotton, wlsped about the throat hangman fash¬ ion ; above .ill was a battered biUy-coclo with-a dissolute drooping brim. Be¬ tween the neckerchief and the lowQririg brim of the hat ajipeared part of a face, unshaven, and not scrupulouslj' clean. The man's hands woro jilungod into lil^ pockets, and ho shufllod- hastily along in boots whioh wero thchoots of a tramp indifferent to miry ways. In a mbraent he was out of sight, and the brough.im, after waitingalittle while, turned about and comfortably departed.
This mj-storious figure was that of the present writer. He was bound for Lam- both AVorkhouse, thoro to learn bj' ac¬ tual experieuco how casual paupers are lodged and fed, and what tho " casual" is like, and whnt the porter whoadmits him and the master who rules over him; aud Iiow the night passes with tho out-, casts whom we have all seen crowding about workhouse doors on cold and rainj'nights. Mueh has been .said on; the subject—on behalf of tho pauper— on behalf of the officials; but nothing by any ono who, with no motive but to learn and make known the truth,.had ventured the experiment of passing a night in a workhouse and "trying wh.it it actually is to be a " casual."
The day hadbeen windy and chill— the night was cold; and therefore I fully expected to begin my experiences among a dozen of ragged wretches squatting about the steps aud waiting for admisfiion. But my only comiJ.inion at the door was a decently dressed woman, whom, as I afterwards learnt, they declined to admit until she had re¬ covered from a fit of intoxication from which sho had the misfortune to bestill Buffering. I lifted the big knocker, and knocked; the door was promptly open¬ ed, and I entered. Just within, a com¬ fortable-looking clork sat ata comfort¬ ablo desk, ledger before him. Indeed, the spacious hall in every waj' was as comfortable aa cleanliness and great mats and plenty of gaslight couldmake it.
" AVhat do you want?" asked theman who opened the door. " I want a lodging," " Go and stand before the desk," said the porter; and I obeyed.
" You are late," said the clerk.
"Ami, sir?"
" Yes. Ifyou como in you'll have a bath, and you'U have to sleep in tho shed.'? . ,:
"Vfery well, sir."
"AVhat's your name?"
" Joslfua Mason, sir."
"AVhat are you?"
" An engraver." .'(This taradiddle I ihyehteS'to 'abtaunt for the look - of my hands.).'
"AVhere did you sleep last night?"
"Hammersmith," I answered—as I hope to be forgiven.
"How many times have you beeu hore?"
"Never bofore, sir." " AVhere do j'ou mean to go to when you are turned out in the morning?" "Back to Hammersmith, sir." These humble an.swers being entered in a book, the olerk called to theporter, saj'ing, " Tako him through. You may as well take his bread with j'ou."
Near the clork stood a basket contaiu- iiig somo pieces of bread bf equal size. Taking one of these, and unhitching a bunch of kej's from the waU, the por¬ ter led nio through some passagea all so scrupulouslj' clean that my most se¬ rious misgivings were laid to rest. Then wo passed into a dismal yard. Crossing this, nijf guide led mo to a door, calling out " HiUo! Daddj', I've brought j'ou another!" Whereupon Daddy opened unto us, and let a little of his gaslight stream into the darlc whero we stood.
" Come in," said Daddy, verj' hospit- ablya J' There's enough of j'ou to niglit, anyhow! What made you so late? " I didn't like to come in earlier." " Ah! That's a pity,' now, bocause j'ou've missed your akiUey (gruel.) It's the first night of skilley, don't you know, under the new act?" : '"Justlike iny luck!" I muttered dolefully.
Tile porter went hjs way, aud I fol¬ lowed Daddy into another apartment, whore wore ranged three great baths, each ono containing a liquid so disgust- ly like weak, mutton broth, that my w-orst apprehensions crowded back. " Come on, there's a dry place to staud on up at this end," said Daddy, kiudlj'. " Tako off-j'our clothes, tie'em up in j'ourhank'sher, and-I'll lock 'em up tiU the morning^" Accordingly I took off my coat and waistcoat, aud was about to tio thom together, whon; Dad¬ dj'cried, "That ain't enough, I me.in everj'thing." "Npt my shirt, sir,! sup¬ pose?" "Yes, shirt a'nd.all; but there, I'U lend you a shirt," said Daddy.. " Whatever J'OU tako in of your own will bo nailed, j'Ou know. You might take in your boots, thougli^they'd be liaiidj' ifyou happened to want to leave the shod for anything; but don't blame mo if J-ou loso'em."
AA'itli a fortitude for which I hope some day to bo rewarded, I made up my bundle (boots and all), and the moment Daddj-'s face was turned iiwaj- shut mj- ej'cs and plunged desperately, into the mutton broth. X wish from tlie bottom ofmy heart my courage had been less hasty, for hearing the splash. Daddy looked round .ind said: "Lor, now! there was no'occasion for that; j'ou look a decent sort ofa man. It's them filthy beggars" (only he used a word moro specific than •"filthy,") "that want w.ishing.'Don'tuso that towel- hero's a clean one! That's the sort! and now hero's j'oiir shirt" (liandiug mo a bluo. striped one from a heap) "and hero's j'onr ticket. No. 34 you are, and a ticket to match is tied to your bundle. Jlind you dou't lose it. They'll nail it •from you if they get a chance. Put it under your head. This is your rug— tako it with j'ou." ¦ : • ¦ - •
" AVliere am I to sleep, plOiiso, sir?'i '"i;U show you."
Andso he did .; With no othor r.ig but the checked shirt to coyer me, and witli my rug over my shoulder, ho ac¬ companied mo to the door at which I entered, and opening it, keptme stand¬ ing with naked fee.t on the stono thieah- old, full in the draught of tho frosty air, while hd pointed out tho way I should go. It was not a loiig way, but Iwould have givon much not to have troddenit. It was open as the highw.ij'—with flag stones below and the stars overhead, and as I said bofore, and cannot heiyi sayiug again, a frosty wind was blow- i"E- ' '-' - .-.',
"Straightacross," said Daddy, "to v.'hero you soe the lightshining through. Goin there, and turn to the left, and you'll find tlie beds in a heap. Take ono of'em and make yourself comfort¬ able." And straight across I went, my naked fectseeming to cUngto the stories as though they were burning hotinstead df icy cold (thej-had just stepped out of a hath J'OU should reniember) till I roadli- od the space through which .tlio light was shining, nnd I entered in.
No language with wliich I am ac¬ quainted is capable of couvej'irig an ad¬ equate conceptiori ofthe spectacle I then encountered. Imagine a space of about thirty feet by, thirty: feet enclosed oh throe'sides by a dingy, whitewashed wall; and roofed with nakedtileswhieh were furred with the damp and filth tiiat reeked within. As for'the fourth side of theshed. It was boarded in for (saj-) a third of its breadth; the remain¬ ing siiacp being hung witli flimsy can¬ vas, in which was .1 gap. two- feet wide at top, widening to at least four feet at bottom. This far too airy shod was paved with stono, the flags so tliieklj' iuerusted jWith filth th.it I mistook it first fora floor of natural earth. Ex¬ tending from one end of m j- bedroom to tlio otlior, in three rows, wore certain iron " cranks" (of which I subscqucntlj- learned the use), with their nianj- arms raised iu various attitudes, as the stiff¬ ened arms of men are on a battlefield. My iioilfellows lay among, the cranks, distributed over the fiagstoues in a dou¬ ble row, on narrow bags scantily stuffed with hay. At one glance .my appalled vision took in thirty of them—thirtj' men. and boys stretched uppii shallow p.illcta with but only six inches of com¬ fortable hay between them and the stony flpoi:. These beds wero placed close together, evory occupant being provided with a rug liko that whieii I W.IS fain to hug across my iihoulders. in not a few cases two gentlemen had clubbed beds and rugs and slept togeth¬ er. In one etise (to bo further men¬ tioned presently) four gentlemen had so clubbed together. Many of my fellow casuals were awake, others asleep or protending to sleep; and, shocking as wore the waking ones to look upon, they wero quite pleasant when compared with the sleepers. For this reason, tho practised and well seasoned casual seems to have a jieculiar way of putting him¬ self to bed. Ho rolla himself in his tucking liimself in head and feet,
they squatted up iu their beds, and smo- ketlfoul pipes, nnd sang snatches of hor¬ rible songs, and bandied jokes so ob¬ scene as to bo absolutely appalling.— Eight or ten were so oujoj'ing them¬ selves—the majority with the check shirt on aud the frowzy rug pulled about their legs; buttwo or tlireeworono shirts at all, squatting uaked to the waist, their bodies fuUj' exposed in the light ofjthe single flaring jetof gas flxed high upon tho waU.
My .entrance excited verj' littlo atten¬ tion. There was a horse-pail three parts fidl of water standing by a post in tho middlo ofthe shed; with a Uttle tin pot beside it. Addressing mc as "old pal,','oneof thonaked rufllaus begged me to "hand himaswig,?' as ho was"worry nigh garspin." Such au appeal of oourse iio ."old pal" could withstand, and 1 gave him a pot full ofwater. Ho sliow¬ ed -himself grateful for the attention. " I shoiild lay over there if I was you," he silid, pointing to the loft side of the siieil;, "it's more put of the wind than this'ere side is." Itook tlie good na¬ tured advicOj and (bj- this time shiver¬ ing wltii cold) stopped over the stones to whore the beds ,df straVv bags were heaped, and dragged one of them to the spot sugg'ested by nij' naked comrade. But I had no more idea of hPW tp arrange it than of making an apiilo pudding, and a certain littlo discovei-j' added mueh to my embarrassment. • In the middlo of tho bod I had selected was astaiu of blood bigger than a man's hand! T did not know what to do now. To lie on such a horrid thing seemed impossible; j'Ot to carry back the bed aud exchango it for another might be¬ tray a degree of fastidiousness repug¬ nant totho feelings of mj' fellow-lodg. ers, and jiossibly oxcito-suspieipn that I was upf what I seemed. Jiist iu the hick pf timo in came that good man Daddj'.' ¦ ¦ .
'^"What! not pitched yot?" ho ex¬ claimed; here, I'U siiow ypu. Hallp! somebody's boen a blcediu'! Never mind; let's turn him ovor. There j'ou are, j'pusoe! Now laj'ilown, aud cover J-our rug ovor J'OU." ' ,
Thore was no help for it. It -svas too late to go back. Down I l.ij-, and spread the rug over me. I.shoiild have men¬ tioned that I brought in with me a cot¬ ton handkorchiof, and tliis I tied round my iibad bj' w.ij' of anightcap; but uot daring to jiuU tho rug as higli as mj' faco. Before I could in anj' waj' settle my mind to reflcctioii, in came Daddj' ouce moro to do me a further kiuducss and, jioiut out a stupid blunder I had committed. .:
"AVliy,'j'OU aro a rummj' chap!" said Daddj''. "You forget your broad! Laj- Ilold. Aiul loolc licro, I've brouslit j-ciu iinother rug; it's i>erisliing cold to¬ night." So saying, ho spread tho rug over mj' legs aud went awaj-. I was yerj'. tliankful for the extra covering, but I was in a. dilemma about the bro;id. I couldn't possiblj' eat it; what then was to be done with it ? I broko it, how¬ ever, and in viow of sueh of the compa¬ nj' as might happen to be looking made a ferpcipus bite at a bit as large :us a beau, aud munched violentlj'. Bj'goo'd luck, however, I presently got half way ovor my, lUtliculty vcrj' ucatlj-. Just behind mc, so close indeed that their feet canie witliin half ayard of nij- head, throe lads w-ere sleeping together.
" Did j-pu hear that. Punch?" one of tliom asked.
"'Ear.what?" answercdPniit'li,sleopj- and snappish. '
"AA'hj', a cove forgot his toke! Gords- trutli 1 J'OU wouldn't Iccteli me forgcltiu mine." '',, '
"Y'ouniay have half of it, old pal, it you're hungry," I observed, leaning up on mj' elbows. .
" Chuck it hero; good luck to j'cr," replied ,my j'Oung friend, starting up with an eager clap of his dirty hands. ¦ I "chucked it here," and, slipping the othor half under thosideof my bed, lay mj- head on mj- folded arms.
Hero I must break iiij- narrative. Iu dpiiig so permit mo to assure j'our re.v ders that it is truo ,ind faithful in every particular. I am telling a storj' which eannot .iU bo told—some parts of it aro far too shocking; but -rrliat I may tell has not a single touch of falso color init.
AVinth-''" -p stopped suddenly, as the rccoUccti n came over him of tho cold, gurgling .w.iters, and of those few terri¬ ble moment of suspense.
"•Then j'ou alw.ij's dare to do it: is that -ivhat you mean ?"
" Yes sir:" but the voice was not as full of confidence as it had been half an hour before.
,^'And the end of j'our ilaring, thia tinie might havebeen—cZcaWj."'
iA shu'd'ddr '^crept' over every boy'a heart. '
" Oh, sir! please don't! I dared him!' said poor Tom.
And so you think a boy is a coward who is dared to do a thing and doesn't do it?"
" It looks so,"answered AVir.throp. -" All, mj'boy! j'our must get rid of that idea: it is all wrong! He who-re¬ fuses to do asiniul ora dangerons thing, even when people say " I dare you," ia a true hero: aud he who runs all risks, to do something, jnst because he is " dared," is by far the most cowardly and fooUsh! Don't look so down heart¬ ed, AA'inthrop: I want you to be truly heroic:—aud I know.you can do things verj' bravely sometimes. For instance, ifl should say j-ou maj' not go skating another day during this sciuson,-you would bear the punishment without a complaint, I think."
." Yes sir!" answered the boy, with a touch of the old piide in his voice." ' " Maj'U't I bear the punishment? It was my fault."
"I haven't given anj- punishment yet, Tom, I hnvo only given this lesson about true bravery, for j'ou all to learu. And now, bo off, everj' one of j-ou, aud AViuthroi) rest'whilclgo to oxamino my dressing gown; and if it is ontirelj- ruin¬ ed, I'll.pass a subscriiitiou around ainoug you, to get a now onc!" And tho kind mail smiled as ho left them, but liis he.irt W.TS full; .ind he went to tiianiv God for the safety of his pupil, and to pray that ho miglit become truly bravo and noblo.
jBoys, nover bo "dared" into doing what is wrong. Do not take ono step asiile from tlie safe and straight iiatli, no matter how iiiaiij' voices say " 1 daro J-ou!" Be bravo enougli to saj-" I dare not," to ovcrj' temptation. And al¬ ways i** JMirc to tic riphf.' dure to be true.'
All lho world's scorning can never liarui you! ;Htaud l>y your conscience, yuur honor, your
-fttaiul liltc a Isero, and battle till death!"

SO that be is completely enveloped; and, lying quite still on his pallet, he looks' precisely like a corpse covered because of its liideousncss. Some were stretched out at full length; some lay nose and knees together; some with an arm or a leg showing crooked through the cover¬ let. It was like the result of a railway accident; these ghastly figures were awaiting the coroner.
From the moral point of view, howr ever, the wakeful ones -vvere more dread¬ ful still. To-ffzled, dir^, -viUanous,

The boy's ej'es flashed. In a moment he'wasbver'the boundary line, skating sfciUftiily over the.foiliidilcu ico; wbile his schoolmates looked on,—some witli astonishment, some with fear, and a few with shoiits of aiiplause. Clear to the otiier side he went, though the ice cr.tek- ed'a'nd bent:—then, with a giuecful turn, hewas coming toward tlieni again, swifter,—swifter,—with a louk of pride ou his glowing fiice; tmd the praises of tho other boys alreatiy sounding in his ears. * '

" Hun quick! gel a rope!" v
"Stand back! every bno ot you !"— and till! vpice, genbridly sokind, frighi¬ ened thom now with its sternness:, and they looked in silence at the Teach¬ er's white face, as he drewofriiis'gpwii, and crept with it to tho boundary line which lie had marked for the boys that morning. Over tli.nt, too, so carefully, yet so quickly;—and the ice cracked, r—cracked! Aud the boys could noiic of thom tell just how it was done, only that soon tho dark dripping bair of tho school-mate appeared above the broken ice,-rTthen his body — slowly, slowly dragged to wnrd them, his hand clutch- in.? tightly the teacher's dressing gown.
Tlio Teacher did not spoak; and the.y dared not. In his teacher's owu strong arms, Winthrop was carried to the house, and warmed and rubbed:—and —no, he ¦ivas not dead!—for, in a few moments, ho opened his eyes, and, looking at the group of anxious, bo.yisli faces'g.athered round, said " All right." How it.brightened every heart tlieie! The boys could speak now.
"Oh, Win! I haven't countctl fifty yet!" burst out Tom, excitedly, trying to laugh,—but if lib bad hot beon a boy he would certaialy have eried iiistetul. " Now, let me hear all about it," said tbeir teacher calmly, as the color began to come b.ick iuto Winibrop's cheeks. "It was. all my fault!" said Tom
humbly. ' '¦ '

THE DESEETEE'S DEATH.
Beat with your shackled hands yourbrcost. Impatient pace yourguardcd room,
in vain upon your couch seek rest, Giize out upon tho gloom;
'Tis lighter now thnn when you last Looked out—the hours are fiying fnst!
Y'ou counted not the fearful cost
When forth, beneath tho veil of night You stole, to join tho rebel host,
Agaiust your flng to fight; To-morrow tlmt bright flng shall w.ivo Abovo unothur traitor's srave. Oh, why-whcn you were staunch and true,
And nobly boro a soldier's part. Where the shrill-whIsUiug bullets flew.
Could one not find your heart? Tiion weeping friends might speak with pride Of ono who for his country died.
^Tlduk of your gray-haired father'.s wno. Think how you've blighted all his Ufe— IIow his fond heart will bear this blow!
Whou first yon aought the strife. While scalding tears ran down his fnco. Ho bade you hasten to your place.
Thank God! your molhcr's lifo hnd Hod Bofore thase fcnrful tidings ciuno.
But your young sister's sunny head Is lK>wixl to-dny in .shamo;
•TIs .tyid, ludeed, thnt even sho
Must hund buueath yonr infamy.
Upon your brcnst, jit tinier, you've worn
A lilllo tress of silken hnir— Tlic pretty head from which 'twas slioru
Is nching with despair: Another sorrowed heart lo bleed, Becntiso of your accursed deed.
Look from your window onco again;
Suo in the Enst a slrcak of gruy. Now creeping slowly o'er tho plain—
The harbinger of day; And think these beams ere night sludl fnll "Upon a d.astnrd trait'jr's pall.
'•Twixt ynu nnd death but momont.s stand;
And yut, :i Ufe uouUi not. ntnne For all tho ruin your red wild hand
So recklessly Imth .-^trownl You fuel ituow—tUollrcsoflluU Wilh nt^ony your bosom swcU.
Your practised enr should know iho trond, Thnuiwuscs at your prison door—
Tho iKilts fly back,—the .sunlight red Falls strciming on the Hour;
Tiiun ghmcas on the j;rini nrmy
Of .shining steel that guards your way.
An awful silence—bntcd breath—
The quiet waving ofn hand; Forth the drcnd mcssrnitcrs of de.ith
Speed nt the dumb command; A clnud of smoto sonn rolls uway. And shows a lump of lifeless clay!
EEATHEEIT HAIL.
Of all till! pleasant things in autumn, commend us to stopping at .1 Tndor country house. All its features have a gr.ivo and sober look about them at tho closo of the year, as befits a staid man- *sion; but overj- stray sunbeanx is never- tlielcs.? gladly cjvught and c.irried down the mantling ivy and wistaria for the delight of its inmates. Tho servants are old and faithful, so are the dogs, the Iiorsea and the wines. Like the twin pears ripening on tho south garden wall, the owner is in the i)rimc of life, erisliing cold to¬ night." So saying, ho spread tho rug over mj' legs aud went awaj-. I was yerj'. tliankful for the extra covering, but I was in a. dilemma about the bro;id. I couldn't possiblj' eat it; what then was to be done with it ? I broko it, how¬ ever, and in viow of sueh of the compa¬ nj' as might happen to be looking made a ferpcipus bite at a bit as large :us a beau, aud munched violentlj'. Bj'goo'd luck, however, I presently got half way ovor my, lUtliculty vcrj' ucatlj-. Just behind mc, so close indeed that their feet canie witliin half ayard of nij- head, throe lads w-ere sleeping together.
" Did j-pu hear that. Punch?" one of tliom asked.
"'Ear.what?" answercdPniit'li,sleopj- and snappish. '
"AA'hj', a cove forgot his toke! Gords- trutli 1 J'OU wouldn't Iccteli me forgcltiu mine." '',, '
"Y'ouniay have half of it, old pal, it you're hungry," I observed, leaning up on mj' elbows. .
" Chuck it hero; good luck to j'cr," replied ,my j'Oung friend, starting up with an eager clap of his dirty hands. ¦ I "chucked it here," and, slipping the othor half under thosideof my bed, lay mj- head on mj- folded arms.
Hero I must break iiij- narrative. Iu dpiiig so permit mo to assure j'our re.v ders that it is truo ,ind faithful in every particular. I am telling a storj' which eannot .iU bo told—some parts of it aro far too shocking; but -rrliat I may tell has not a single touch of falso color init.
AVinth-''" -p stopped suddenly, as the rccoUccti n came over him of tho cold, gurgling .w.iters, and of those few terri¬ ble moment of suspense.
"•Then j'ou alw.ij's dare to do it: is that -ivhat you mean ?"
" Yes sir:" but the voice was not as full of confidence as it had been half an hour before.
,^'And the end of j'our ilaring, thia tinie might havebeen—cZcaWj."'
iA shu'd'ddr '^crept' over every boy'a heart. '
" Oh, sir! please don't! I dared him!' said poor Tom.
And so you think a boy is a coward who is dared to do a thing and doesn't do it?"
" It looks so,"answered AVir.throp. -" All, mj'boy! j'our must get rid of that idea: it is all wrong! He who-re¬ fuses to do asiniul ora dangerons thing, even when people say " I dare you," ia a true hero: aud he who runs all risks, to do something, jnst because he is " dared," is by far the most cowardly and fooUsh! Don't look so down heart¬ ed, AA'inthrop: I want you to be truly heroic:—aud I know.you can do things verj' bravely sometimes. For instance, ifl should say j-ou maj' not go skating another day during this sciuson,-you would bear the punishment without a complaint, I think."
." Yes sir!" answered the boy, with a touch of the old piide in his voice." ' " Maj'U't I bear the punishment? It was my fault."
"I haven't given anj- punishment yet, Tom, I hnvo only given this lesson about true bravery, for j'ou all to learu. And now, bo off, everj' one of j-ou, aud AViuthroi) rest'whilclgo to oxamino my dressing gown; and if it is ontirelj- ruin¬ ed, I'll.pass a subscriiitiou around ainoug you, to get a now onc!" And tho kind mail smiled as ho left them, but liis he.irt W.TS full; .ind he went to tiianiv God for the safety of his pupil, and to pray that ho miglit become truly bravo and noblo.
jBoys, nover bo "dared" into doing what is wrong. Do not take ono step asiile from tlie safe and straight iiatli, no matter how iiiaiij' voices say " 1 daro J-ou!" Be bravo enougli to saj-" I dare not," to ovcrj' temptation. And al¬ ways i** JMirc to tic riphf.' dure to be true.'
All lho world's scorning can never liarui you! ;Htaud l>y your conscience, yuur honor, your
-fttaiul liltc a Isero, and battle till death!"

SO that be is completely enveloped; and, lying quite still on his pallet, he looks' precisely like a corpse covered because of its liideousncss. Some were stretched out at full length; some lay nose and knees together; some with an arm or a leg showing crooked through the cover¬ let. It was like the result of a railway accident; these ghastly figures were awaiting the coroner.
From the moral point of view, howr ever, the wakeful ones -vvere more dread¬ ful still. To-ffzled, dir^, -viUanous,

The boy's ej'es flashed. In a moment he'wasbver'the boundary line, skating sfciUftiily over the.foiliidilcu ico; wbile his schoolmates looked on,—some witli astonishment, some with fear, and a few with shoiits of aiiplause. Clear to the otiier side he went, though the ice cr.tek- ed'a'nd bent:—then, with a giuecful turn, hewas coming toward tlieni again, swifter,—swifter,—with a louk of pride ou his glowing fiice; tmd the praises of tho other boys alreatiy sounding in his ears. * '

" Hun quick! gel a rope!" v
"Stand back! every bno ot you !"— and till! vpice, genbridly sokind, frighi¬ ened thom now with its sternness:, and they looked in silence at the Teach¬ er's white face, as he drewofriiis'gpwii, and crept with it to tho boundary line which lie had marked for the boys that morning.

Tlio Teacher did not spoak; and the.y dared not. In his teacher's owu strong arms, Winthrop was carried to the house, and warmed and rubbed:—and —no, he ¦ivas not dead!—for, in a few moments, ho opened his eyes, and, looking at the group of anxious, bo.yisli faces'g.athered round, said " All right." How it.brightened every heart tlieie! The boys could speak now.
"Oh, Win! I haven't countctl fifty yet!" burst out Tom, excitedly, trying to laugh,—but if lib bad hot beon a boy he would certaialy have eried iiistetul. " Now, let me hear all about it," said tbeir teacher calmly, as the color began to come b.ick iuto Winibrop's cheeks. "It was. all my fault!" said Tom
